On Friday, the meadows are being prepared for the 400 runners who, during the weekend, run the SM in cross country. According to the competition leader, one expects a festive weekend.
- We have about 400 participants, of which about 75 are from Umeå. We also hope for a lot of audience, says Hans Nilsson.
The course stretches for two kilometers, but the longest run is 10,000 meters.
- Those who run the longest, then, make five turns. We have participants between 15 and 75 years, so all participants are divided into different classes.
The race leader expects a weekend with crowds and running parties. Hear more about it in the clip.
